    Alaska conservatism is hella different from mainland conservatism. Alaskans are conservartive in the, “Leave me the fuck alone, don’t tell me what to do, don’t want your rules, regulations and laws. We’re doing just fine, fuck off.”

    Which may sound like standard conservative sensibilities, but Alaska takes the idea of American independence to a whole 'nother level. When you live in the boondocks, you have to be self-reliant. When you live in Alaska, you will die if you’re not able to care for yourself.

    Does that make any sense? Worn out from work and spewing thoughts. Anyway, I’ve seen and lived both sides, I get it.
